Swim Tips

DPS:
Distance per stroke is not the goal. It's a good thing to work on in training, just like really high or low cadence is a good cycling skill to work on, but super long DPS is not a good idea for racing. The idea is to keep up your momentum through the water, and while working on DPS can certainly improve your efficiency, without a strong propulsive kick (that's really only conducive to short course swim events), you'll just end up slowing yourself down, while waiting for the other arm to come through the stroke. Then add open water to the mix, with the current, there's going to be even less gliding through the water. You want to keep your stroke cadence up to keep your momentum moving forward, and minimize deceleration.

Catch-up Drill:
This drill involves completing a full stroke with one arm before beginning the stroke with the second arm. The swimmer starts streamline on their stomach. They take their first stroke focusing on catching water and feeling the water. The swimmer cannot take their next stroke until the first stroke returns back to streamline. Make sure with every stroke your body rotates side to side. Your head should remain still.


Fingertip Drag Drill:
This drill is swimming normal freestyle while dragging your fingertips along the surface of the water on the recovery. Focus on a high elbow recovery, which ensures proper hand and albow position at your hand entry. You should also check your body position during this drill, focusing on good side-to-side rotation.
